In the Eyes of the King

A young maid’s abusive father amasses a great debt.
An entire nation is indebted to a greater power.
Only the righteous king can offer atonement to both.
But pride and intolerance stand in the way.

Having settled into his manor with his new wife, the princess of Teman, Justus Corden begins a search for an heir to Rygia’s throne—a child of the royal line who is willing to learn the ways of righteousness and lead the realm toward the light of God. This task proves more difficult than he imagined, for no one in Rygia seems to care for an alliance with Teman.

One young Rygian maidservant is in dire straits due to a debt amassed by her father. But the king of Teman himself pays her debt, thus freeing her from bondage. With the entire realm of Rygia now indebted to Caledron, the king of Teman makes a similar offer to them, on a much grander scale, but the people of Rygia refuse to accept it.

Meanwhile, the prince of Caledron seeks revenge against Justus by going after both his daughter and his newborn son. Only two Temanite warriors and the aforementioned Rygian maid are in a position to help. But one of them is already affected by the darkness.
